CONTENT AND SESSIONS

How is content structured at Consumer Marketing 2018?

Content at Consumer Marketing is structured around four different session types:

Keynotes: Forrester Analysts and industry thought leaders take to the main stage over the course of two days to deliver inspirational, forward looking presentations centered around our core themes.

Forrester Quick Takes: Breakout sessions that will help you determine how to react to significant market events with objective analysis and perspectives. Listen to our expert analysts converse with one another on topics such as GDPR, Net Neutrality, and Brand Risk.

Building Blocks: Tightly focused breakout sessions on key technologies and techniques for the marketer, presented by Forrester and select partners..

Deep Dives: Long-form, in-depth explorations of key issues and challenges, led by Forrester analysts and defining new best practices from innovative marketing professionals.

What is the format of the Forum?

Keynote sessions take place on our mainstage with theater-style seating. Trends, Core Skills, and Deep Dives take place in smaller rooms and are often set classroom-style, and are highly interactive.

Are sessions recorded and are session materials made available to attendees?

All mainstage sessions are recorded, and most keynote presentations are made available to attendees. Some speakers however choose to withhold their material because the content is proprietary or competitively sensitive. Quick Takes, Building Blocks and Deep Dive sessions are typically not recorded; however, materials are typically be made available for sharing after the Forum.

Unless otherwise noted, all sessions at all Forrester forums are on the record.
